Echo deals

Amazon Echo (fourth-gen)

As we noted in our review last year, we were impressed with the latest Echo. The latest model opts for a spherical build and better sound, while maintaining its approachable price tag.

• If you’re looking for something more affordable, the third-gen Echo Dot is also 50 percent off right now, bringing the price down from $40 to $20. Despite its age, we still think it’s a great little smart speaker for the price, with decent sound and plenty of functionality thanks to Amazon’s Alexa. Read our review.

Echo Show deals

Echo Show 5 (second-gen)

We consider the second-generation Echo Show 5 to be one of the best smart displays you can buy. It’s an ideal smart display for your nightstand, one that allows you to set alarms using your voice, play music, and get the weather report, among other things. When the alarm goes off, you merely need to tap the top of the Echo Show 5 to snooze it.

Echo Show 8 (first-gen)

The last-gen Echo Show 8 is Amazon’s mid-size smart display. It features a sharp, 8-inch screen and most of the features found on the second-gen model, though, it lacks the latter’s 13MP camera and speedy performance. Read our review.

• The kid’s version of the second-gen Echo Show 5 is also on sale, going for $50 instead of $95. This tablet boasts a colorful design, a two-year warranty, and a year of Amazon Kids Plus, which gives kids access to more than 15,000 kid-friendly videos, audiobooks, games, music stations, and more.

Echo Buds deals

Echo Buds (second-generation)

This version of the second-generation Echo Buds features wireless charging capability into the case, allowing you to top off the battery from any Qi charging platform. Like we pointed out in our review, they also boast more powerful noise cancellation than before and offer good sound quality for its price.

• You can buy the $250 Echo Frames (second-gen) for $155 at Amazon, or grab a pair of Echo Frames with polarized lenses for $165 instead of $270. The Echo Frames are a lightweight pair of glasses outfitted with built-in small speakers and mics, which make it possible to listen to music and use Alexa on the go. Although they offer great mic quality on calls, Alexa is limited on phones, and they don’t work on multiple devices. Read our review.

The Halo View is Amazon’s newest fitness tracker, and is set to arrive on December 8. It features a color AMOLED screen that displays activity information, sleep scores, and more at a glance.
